A parent faced challenges when their son began to eat less and refuse foods, leading to frustration. Traditional parenting strategies failed to improve the situation, prompting the parent to question their approach. Seeking help from a pediatrician ultimately led to feeding therapy with a speech therapist. This therapy introduced a 'Steps to Eating' chart to address food aversions incrementally, emphasizing that overcoming these challenges would require time and patience despite external pressures from other parents.
The sight and smell of certain foods prompted my son's gag reflex, and persistent family dinners became a frustrating production where I questioned my parenting.
After a year of struggles, I learned speech therapists can help with feeding issues, ultimately leading to a 'Steps to Eating' chart to tackle food aversions.
